VMware: Disable server's sensor error notification on vCenter Server

If you are unable to resolve the error reporting issue at the server hardware level, you can prevent this trigger from warning at the VMware vCenter Server level:

Go to the "Configure" tab of your vCenter Server. Next, in the "Security" section, go to "Alarm Definitions" and find the desired item for which the alarm occurs. Next, switch to edit mode using the "Edit" button. Click "Next" on the "Name and Targets" step. Next, we execute "Add argument" and in the additional line that appears, select "objectName" from the drop-down list, then "does not start with", and in the remaining field we input the sensor, for example "[Device] System Board 0 Host Loss 0" (find the desired sensor you can in the ESXi server settings->Monitor->Hardware Health). After the configuration is done, click "Next" twice and at the end "Save". The trigger will no longer warn on a sensor error.
